The artwork wraps beautifully around the cup, depicting a quiet scene of reflection, a crown of thorns. Above is the full poem “The Thorn” by Derek B. Noisette, a powerful reflection on weakness, faith, and the strength that only God can provide.

The Thorn

By Derek B. Noisette

Weakness is God’s weapon, forged in the fire,

Designed to lift, not to break, but to push me higher.

I wrestle with shadows, I stumble, I fight,

Yet grace turns my failing into heaven’s light.

Why do I battle what I cannot explain?

Even Paul wrestled, even saints felt the strain.

The struggle is proof, the pressure divine,

Heaven is whispering, “The victory’s mine.”

Joseph was tested, Samson betrayed.

The enemy strikes where destinies are made.

The thorn in my flesh is not meant to destroy,

But to humble, to teach, to birth endless joy.

David’s sins turned prayers, Psalms flowing through time,

So I ask not for escape, but purpose sublime.

Lord, show me the meaning within this strife,

For struggle, when surrendered, becomes holy life.

I will not run, I will rise, I will fight.

For the thorn is my teacher, the struggle my light.

My weakness becomes strength, my pain becomes song.

I am chosen, I am mighty, through the thorn I belong.
